Online Stock Trading

This site, in truth, began with the dawning sensation that for some people, the world can be a very lonely place. Besides the emotionally stricken, socially stricken, and selfishly stricken (to name just a few), there is at least one more subset in possession of extreme rarity: the emotionally sound, socially competent, selfless, but intelligence stricken few. For those poor, but blessed souls, the world can, so it seems to me, be a very lonely place.

Fortunately, the niche is not so small so as to completely evacuate the possibility of kinship. Instead those in that class simply have to look a little harder. Or, as the Internet permits, a little farther. It was this understanding that prompted the creation of that which you are now reading.

As if this pruning were not enough, it also seems to me, that some of the brightest, most competent, most motivated, and most skilled people out there (so spread out as they are) have terrific and daunting impediments that retard their ability to advance their position in life to where they deserve and hope to have it. Even the very gifted few, may, given the things beset before them, have the hardest time doing what it is they want to really do.

Enters money. Even for those with the most modest appetites for luxuries, money can be not that which we associate with excessive waste: sports cars, yachts, designer everythings, you name it. It can also pay for tuition, put food in the belly, help a friend in need, and settle scores with worries innumerable. It can provide some sense of leisure so that the distractions in life can be distracted. It can help us get going again to where we really want to be.

With all that in mind, it was and still is my hope, that hiding out here or there, find me I might, a few such gifted follies like myself. This simple place where smart people can come together. People interested in improving their livelihoods, able to, who are willing to, in the very least, squander their options, and still maintain excessive passions about things besides money for the sake of money, but for the more useful things only money can afford.

Even the best of the best might find themselves bored and alone at work, waiting. And waiting. Waiting for all those hard efforts to finally yield enough fruit so they can eat a proper meal. It was while recognizing this that I formulated a more direct assault on the things standing in my way. 1) I want to get over there. 2) I can get over there. 3) I don’t want to take a normal route—it’ll take too damned long. 4) I would prefer to have some companions.

Once I realized just how feasible it was to make money from money, then more money from that money, it dawned on me that a shorter road was mine for the taking. But I didn’t want to take that road if it turned out to really be a cliff. So I started thinking. And it was after all this thinking that I began to believe that I could help initialize a newer and different kind of perspective toward things related to investing. This perspective would be “deep thinking” through and through. This is not to say that it is the only way to invest. It is to say that it is a thoughtful way to invest, one that can lead to very useful things, faster, while avoiding diving off of cliffs.

Almost all long term investors will succeed. I simply want to enjoy that success at a more snappy pace. I, and anyone who cares to chit chat along the way with me, are investors nearly wholly opposed to the kinds of things so common to many other, more common investors. Things like quick judgments, too much reliance on gut instincts, and belief in everyone else’s beliefs. That doesn’t mean that everyone is wrong. It just means that here, we want to really think about it first.

So what is The Best Stock Trading in the World? Well it certainly isn’t some lofty arrogance. “I’m the best because I’m better than you.” It’s not necessarily the most popular (though I have hopes that it could become a little popular). “This is the best because of the fact that everyone is doing it proves it.” And it’s not the best because it always has been. “This is the best method because it’s been proven to work time and time again.”

This is a different kind of best. Like the best answer to a math question kind of best. Like the best route to take when driving. Like the best planned plans. Best as in most deeply thought out. Best like most savored. These kinds of “bests” are the exhausting paths. Like best essays, career choices, and life decisions. It’s the kind of best by which the ultimately declared best people become the best people. They become teachers, executives, and those with their lives right where they want them to be.

It is with this exclusivity, where I’d like to offer a short rest and pause for all the uncorrupted youth, free-thinking old, and the life learners. For those who aren’t afraid to be wrong, but fortunately aren’t very often.

This my friends, is The Best Stock Trading in the World.
